ix TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Connie V. Harrison, Relator (hereinafter “Relator” or “Connie”), hereby makes and files this, her Petition for Writ of Mandamus, complaining of the order of the Honorable Judge Alicia K. Franklin, presiding judge of the 311th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (hereinafter “Respondent” or “Judge Franklin”), and would respectfully show unto the Honorable Court as follows: STATEMENT OF THE CASE Nature of the Underlying Case: The underlying suit for divorce and custody of the minor children was filed in 2006. The suit was tried to a jury and a decree was entered in June 2010. Connie appealed the decree to the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, and the decree was reversed and remanded to the trial court with the exception of the affirmation of the divorce. The Order of Dismissal at issue in this proceeding was entered on December 15, 2014 (“Order”). R. at 1; App. at 1.

Trial Court: 311th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, Judge Franklin presiding.

Disposition: Real Party in Interest, Clifford Harrison (hereinafter “Clifford”) was granted leave to replead his Motions for Enforcement against Connie to conform to Chapter 157 of the Texas Family Code. STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION The Honorable Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus pursuant to Tex. Const. art. V, § 6, and Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221(b)(1).

STANDARD FOR ISSUANCE OF WRIT OF MANDAMUS A. Mandamus Generally “Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, available only in limited circumstances.” In re First Meritbank, N.A., 52 S.W.3d 749, 753 (Tex. 2001) (orig. proceeding); accord, In re Columbia Med. Ctr. of Las Colinas, Subsidiary, L.P., 290 S.W.3d 204, 209 (Tex. 2009) (orig. proceeding). As such, mandamus does not issue as a matter of right. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 138 (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding); Rivercenter Associates v. Rivera, 858 S.W.2d 366, 367 (Tex. 1993) (orig. proceeding). Instead, a writ of mandamus will issue only if a trial court: (1a) violates a duty imposed by law; or (1b) clearly abuses its discretion; and (2) there is no other adequate legal remedy. Columbia Med. Ctr., 290 S.W.3d at 207; First Meritbank, 52 S.W.3d at 753.

B. Abuse of Discretion Defined In order to show mandamus is proper, the Realtor must prove the trial court abused its discretion. A trial court abuses its discretion only if its decision is so arbitrary and unreasonable that it constitutes a clear and prejudicial error of law.

Johnson v. Fourth Court of Appeals, 700 S.W.2d 916, 917 (Tex. 1985) (orig. proceeding). This requires the Connie to do more than show that the court below could have reached a different conclusion; instead, they must prove it “acted without reference to any guiding rules or principles,” Cire v. Cummings, 134 S.W.3d 835, 838-39 (Tex. 2004), and its decision is arbitrary and unreasonable. City of San Benito v. Rio Grande Valley Gas Co., 109 S.W.3d 750, 757 (Tex. 2003). The burden of showing an abuse of discretion occurred is a heavy one, In re CSX Corp., 124 S.W.3d 149, 152 (Tex. 2003) (orig. proceeding), requiring the Realtor to prove the trial court could have only reached one decision, but failed to do so. Liberty Nat’l Fire Ins. Co. v. Akin, 927 S.W.2d 627, 630 (Tex. 1996) (orig. proceeding).

C. Adequacy of Remedy at Law In addition to proving there is an abuse of discretion, the Realtor must also prove they have no remedy at law. Generally, this requires showing the only remedy available to the Connie is mandamus. In re Rogers, 43 S.W.3d 20, 24 (Tex. App. — Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding). In deciding whether this is the case, the Court must balance the benefits and detriments of mandamus review, In re Derzapf, 219 S.W.3d 327, 334 (Tex. 2007) (orig. proceeding); Prudential Ins. Co., 148 S.W.3d at 136, and if the benefits are found to outweigh the detriments, go further and find that refusing mandamus will either cause a party to permanently lose valuable rights or preclude it from presenting its claims. In re Van Waters & Rogers, Inc., 145 S.W.3d 203, 210- (Tex. 2004) (orig. proceeding).

ISSUES PRESENTED FIRST ISSUE Judge Franklin abused her discretion in denying Relator’s motion to dismiss.

SECOND ISSUE Judge Franklin acted beyond the court’s authority in sua sponte changing Relator’s request for dismissal into special exceptions allowing Clifford to replead his Motions for Enforcement.

STATEMENT OF FACTS This proceeding arises because of an Order of Dismissal entered by Judge Franklin in the underlying suit affecting the parent child relationship denying Connie’s motion to dismiss two Motions for Enforcement filed by Clifford and Judge Franklin’s sua sponte interpretation of the motion to dismiss as special exceptions in order to allow Clifford to replead his Motions for Enforcement. R. tab 1; App. tab 1.

A. Clifford Filed Two Motions for Enforcement 1. First Motion for Enforcement On September 2, 2014, Clifford filed a Motion for Enforcement of Possession and Access and Order to Appear (hereinafter, “First Motion”). R. tab 3. In the First Motion, Clifford pleaded Connie’s non-compliance with a previous permanent

injunction entered by the trial court as follows: 9. Violations Violation No. 1: On or about July 28, 2014 CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON failed to comply with terms of this order by failing to adhere to the permanent injunctions relating to discussing the divorce litigation, or issues surrounding the litigation with children, see letter from J.E.H. attached hereto Exhibit C and is fully incorporated herein for all purposes; Violation No. 2: On or about August 15, 2014, CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON was denied access to the minor children, J.E.H. and V.M.H., for the weekend period of possession; Violation No. 3: On or about August 27, 2014, CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON was denied access to the minor children, J.E.H. and V.M.H. at the time the children were dismissed from school for the Thursday overnight possession period and weekend extended by the holiday; Relating to the terms and provisions of the Additional Temporary Orders Violation No. 4: CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON has intentionally and willfully failed to adhere to the court’s order pertaining to the children’s enrollment in school. CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON has facilitated the enrollment of J.E.H. in a school other than Grady Middle School.

R. tab 3. As for relief, Clifford plead the following: 10. Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed, and fined for the violations alleged above.

11. Movant believes, based on the Respondent’s conduct, the repeated and ongoing history of Respondent’s conduct, and the history of the willful failure to comply with Court orders, that Respondent will continue to fail to comply with the orders of the Court. Therefore, Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed, and fined for each failure to comply with the order of the Court from the date of this filing to the date of the hearing on this motion.

12. Movant requests that Respondent be confined in a county jail for ninety (90) days.

R. tab 3.

2. Second Motion for Enforcement On October 13, 2014, Clifford filed a Motion for Enforcement and Order to Appear (hereinafter, “Second Motion”). R. tab 4. In the Second Motion, Clifford pleaded Connie’s non-compliance with a previous permanent injunction entered by the trial court as follows: 7. Violations Violation No. 1: On September 15, 2014 CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON intentionally and knowingly appeared at the boy scout meeting where J.H. was in attendance and spoke with J.H. and V.H. including taking V.H. into the women’s restroom to have a private conversation with her; Violation No. 2: On September 22, 2014,CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON intentionally and knowingly appeared at the boy scout meeting where J.H. was in attendance and spoke with J.H. and gave J.H. a letter to give to V.H; Violation No. 3: On or about October 8, 2014,2014, CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON communicated with J.H. in writing;

Violation No. 4: On or about October 10, 2014, CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON communicated with V.H. in writing; In addition to the above violations, CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON has repeatedly contacted the children by phone and text.

R. tab 4. As for relief, Clifford plead the following: 8. Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed, and fined for the violations alleged above.

9. Movant believes, based on the Respondent’s conduct, the repeated and ongoing history of Respondent’s conduct, and the history of the willful failure to comply with Court orders, that Respondent will continue to fail to comply with the orders of the Court. Therefore, Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed, and fined for each failure to comply with the order of the Court from the date of this filing to the date of the hearing on this motion.

10. Movant requests that Respondent be confined in a county jail for ninety (120) days.

R. tab 4.

B. Hearing on Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement On December 4, 2014, the hearing was held on, inter alia, Clifford’s two Motions for Enforcement. R. tab 2. Clifford and his attorney, Patricia A. Wicoff (“Wicoff”) appeared and Connie and her attorney at the time, Sara Razavi Zand (“Zand”) appeared. Id. Also, the amicus attorney for the minor children, Heather Hughes was in attendance. Id.

After both Clifford and Connie were sworn in as witnesses to testify at the hearing, R. tab 2, 15:1-7, 16:13-24, Wicoff requested the court begin with Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement. R. tab 2, 17:2-23.

1. Connie’s Counsel Submitted an Oral Motion to Dismiss Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement for Insufficient Pleading At such time, Zand lodged an oral motion to dismiss for procedural reasons she requested be heard prior to the merits of the Motions. R. tab 2, 18:1-7. Then, Zand proceeded to move through each of the violations alleged in the First Motion and explain how Clifford’s pleading was insufficiently specific pursuant to Section 157.007(a)(2) and (c) of the Texas Family Code. R. tab 2, 18:13-21:7. Clifford had failed to plead specifically in each instance how Connie had violated the court’s order as required by statute.1 Further, Zand argued that Sections 10-12 of the First Motion regarding Clifford’s requested relief were inadequate. R. tab 2, 21:8-7. The Sections fail to state whether Clifford was seeking civil or criminal contempt, the amount of the fine sought, whether the jail time requested was to be concurrent or consecutive and whether Connie had the right to invoke a jury to hear the Motion. R. tab 2,

With regard to Violation No. 3, Clifford set forth the wrong date. August 27, 2014 was a Wednesday and not a Thursday, and thus, was not a proper period of possession for Clifford under the prior order. R. tab 2, 20:9-18. In response to this allegation, Clifford withdrew his request for enforcement with regard to Violation No. 3.

R. tab 2, 28:6-9.

21:24-7. Next, Zand presented the same insufficiency arguments with regard to the violations and relief sought in the Second Motion.2 R. tab 2, 22:8-25:14. At the conclusion of her argument, Zand asked that her oral motion to dismiss be granted as to both the First and Second Motions. R. tab 2, 26:1-2. In response to Zand’s argument, Wicoff argued that the Motions were sufficiently plead. R. tab 2, 26:6- 31:9.

2. The Court Found the Motions for Enforcement Deficient But Denied the Motion to Dismiss and Gave Clifford Another Bite at the Apple After having heard both counsel’s argument regarding Connie’s oral motion to dismiss, Judge Franklin denied Connie’s motion to dismiss despite finding Clifford’s pleadings deficient. R. tab 2, 40:1-3, 42:8-11. The Court sua sponte decided to “perceive” Connie’s oral motion to dismiss as a filing of special exceptions. R. tab 2, 40:4-7. Then, Judge Franklin went on to sustain the majority of Connie’s “perceived” special exceptions because Clifford’s pleadings were insufficient. R. tab 2, 40:15-44:3, 42:12-15. Judge Franklin ordered Clifford to replead violations 1, 2, and 3 for the First Motion.3 R. tab 2, 40:15-41:9. With With regard to the requested jail time in the Second Motion, Clifford confusingly sought both 90 days and 120 days of jail time. R. tab 2, 20:9-18. In response, Clifford waived the request for 120 days and requested 90 days. R. tab 2, 31:5-9.

Judge Franklin even allows Clifford to replead violation no. 3 despite Wicoff’s clear testimony at the hearing that the violation was being withdrawn due to the failure to include the correct date. R. tab 2, 28:6-9, 41:3-4; Order of Dismissal, R. tab 1; App. tab regard to the Second Motion, Judge Franklin ordered Clifford to replead violations 1, 2, 3, and 4. R. tab 2, 42:16-43:15. Judge Franklin also ordered Clifford to replead the relief in both Motions. R. tab 2, 41:10-22, 43:16-44:3.

3. Clifford Amended his Motions for Enforcement On December 8, 2014, Clifford filed a First Amended Motion for Enforcement of Possession and Access and Order to Appear and a First Amended Motion for Enforcement and Order to Appear repleading the alleged violations and requested relief. R. tab 5; R. tab 6. On December 15, 2014, the court entered an erroneously entitled “Order of Dismissal,” formally denying Connie’s oral motion to dismiss and sustaining and overruling Connie’s perceived special exceptions in conformity with the court’s ruling at the hearing. R. tab 1, App. at 1. On December 22, 2014, the court entered an order granting the withdrawal of Zand as Connie’s counsel and she is now pro se in the underlying matter. The new hearing on Clifford’s First Amended Motions for Enforcement is set for January 16, 2015. Accordingly, Connie files this, her Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to ask the Court of Appeals to order Judge Franklin to vacate her Order of Dismissal and dismiss Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement prior to the hearing on the Motions for Enforcement.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT Connie requests the Court issue a writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to vacate its Order of Dismissal and dismiss Clifford’s two Motions for Enforcement.

Connie appeared at the first hearing on the two Motions for Enforcement and properly requested the trial court dismiss Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement based on his failure to comply with provisions of the Texas Family Code. Despite having determined that the Motions for Enforcement were in fact deficient, the trial court denied Connie’s motion to dismiss and sua sponte changed her complaints into special exceptions. By changing Connie’s challenge to Clifford’s Motions into special exceptions, the trial court gave Clifford the opportunity to replead his Motions without having to dismiss them. This amounted to an unfair and unjust second bite at the apple. As shown below, it was an abuse of discretion for the trial court to deny Connie’s motion to dismiss. Further, the trial court was without express or implied authority to enter special exceptions and allow Clifford to amend his Motions for Enforcement.

ARGUMENTS AND AUTHORITIES FIRST ISSUE PRESENTED (RESTATED) Judge Franklin abused her discretion in denying Relator’s motion to dismiss.

The Statutory Requirements for the Contents of a Motion for Enforcement are Mandatory and Specific A motion for enforcement to enforce a final order of conservatorship, child support, possession of or access to a child or other provisions of a final order are governed by Chapter 157 of the Texas Family Code. Tex. Fam. Code § 157.001(a).

A motion to enforce must give the respondent, in ordinary and concise language, notice of the provisions of the final order, decree or judgment sought to be enforced, the manner of the noncompliance, and the relief sought by the movant. Id. at 157.002(a); Appx. tab 2. Further, the motion for enforcement of the terms of a conservatorship or possession of or access to a child must include the date, place, and if applicable the time of each occasion of the respondent’s failure to comply with the order. Id. at 157.002(c); Appx. tab 2. Due process of law demands that before a court may punish for a contempt, the accused must have full and complete notification of the subject matter, and show cause order or other means of notification must state

when, how, and by what means the defendant has been guilty of the alleged contempt.

Ex parte Edgerly, 441 S.W.2d 514, 516 (Tex. 1969) (orig. proceeding).

B. Clifford Failed to Follow the Statutory Requirements In both of his Motions for Enforcement, Clifford failed to specifically provide Connie with the manner of her alleged noncompliance under each violation alleged.

R. tab 3; R. tab 4. Further, Clifford failed to provide Connie with the necessary specificity required in requesting relief in both Motions for Enforcement. R. tab 3; R. tab 4. By ordering Clifford to replead all but one of his alleged violations and all of his requests for relief, Judge Franklin made a judicial determination that the violations alleged in the Motions for Enforcement were deficient. R. tab 1: Appx. tab 1. Thus, it is clear from the documents and the Judge Franklin’s own findings in the Order of Dismissal that Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement did not comply with the express requirements set forth in Section 157.002(a) and (c) of the Texas Family Code. As a result, it was a clear abuse of discretion for Judge Franklin to deny Connie’s motion for dismissal for failure to comply with Section 157.002 of the Texas Family Code.

SECOND ISSUE PRESENTED (RESTATED) Judge Franklin acted beyond the court’s authority in sua sponte changing Relator’s request for dismissal into special exceptions allowing Clifford to replead his Motions for Enforcement.

A. Connie Was Entitled to Move for Dismissal of Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement There is no question that the statutory requirements for the contents of a motion for enforcement are mandatory. In re Barlow, 899 S.W.2d 791, 796(Tex. App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1995, orig. proceeding).4 Further, there is no requirement under Chapter 157 that Connie first file special exceptions before moving to dismiss Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement. Procedurally, a movant must set the motion for enforcement for hearing if contempt is sought as part of the relief and notice must be personally served on the respondent. Tex. Fam. Code §§ 157.061(a), 157.062(a),(c).

Further and importantly, if a respondent specially excepts or moves to strike the motion for enforcement, the court must rule on the exception or the motion to strike before it hears the motion for enforcement. Id. at § 157.064(a) (emphasis added). If the court sustains the special exceptions, the court shall give the movant an

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals interpreted Section 14.311(f) of the Texas Family Code but Section 14.311(f) was the predecessor statute to Section 157.064(a) and no changes were made when Section 14.311(f) was recodifed into Section 157.064(a) of the Texas Family Code. opportunity to replead and continue the hearing with no requirement of additional service. Id. at § 157.064(b) (emphasis added).

As the Fourteenth Court of Appeals stated in Barlow, “[t]he motion to enforce and motion for contempt either comply with the requirements of the Texas Family Code or they do not.” Barlow, 899 S.W.2d at 795. Although the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure do require the filing of special exceptions and an opportunity to replead, see Tex. R. Civ. P. 90 & 91, the Texas Legislature purposefully used precatory language in Section 157.064. Barlow, 899 S.W.2d at 797. If the Texas Legislature had desired to make Section 157.064 mandatory, it could have easily done so. Id. The Texas Family Code does not require special exceptions or other objections, but rather it requires that a specific type of notice be given to enforcement and contempt motions. Id.; In re Mann, 162 S.W.3d 429, 433 (Tex. App. — Fort Worth 2005, orig. proceeding).

B. The Court was Without Authority to Sua Sponte Specially Except to Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement and Allow Him to Replead 1. An Order Entered Without the Court’s Authority is Void Since Connie was not required to file special exceptions and was entitled to the dismissal of Clifford’s claims, the trial court was without authority to transform Connie’s oral motion to dismiss into special exceptions. An order is void permitting

mandamus to issue if it is beyond the power of the court to enter it. Barlow, 899 S.W.2d at 794. An order is void when a court has no power or jurisdiction to render it. Urbish v. 127th Judicial Dist. Court, 708 S.W.2d 429, 431 (Tex. 1986); Faherty v. Knize, 764 S.W.2d 922, 924 (Tex. App. — Waco 1989, no writ) (“mandamus will issue to nullify an order entered without legal authority”); In re Maxwell, 970 S.W.2d 70, 72 (Tex. App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1998, no writ) (orig. proceeding)(characterizing order issued without authority as an abuse of discretion).

2. The Court Did Not Have the Power or Authority to Transform Connie’s Motion to Dismiss into Special Exceptions In order to justify its actions, the trial court must have had some express or implied authority to act on its own in changing the motion to dismiss into special exceptions. Chapter 157 does not provide the Court with express authority to change Connie’s filing. Further, although courts also have inherent powers to act, Eichelberger v. Eichelberger , 582 S.W.2d 395, 398 (Tex. 1979), the trial court went beyond any recognized inherent power to act in this case.

A court’s inherent power is derived from its very existence, and allows it to act in aid of its jurisdiction, administer justice, and preserve its independence and integrity. Travelers Indem. Co. of Conn. v. Mayfield, 923 S.W.2d 590, 594 (Tex. 1996) (orig. proceeding). A Texas court may use its inherent power to: (1) change,

set aside or otherwise control its judgments; (2) summon and compel the attendance of witnesses; (3) to sanction and to punish by contempt; (4) to regulate the practice of law; and (5) provide personnel to aid the court in the exercise of its judicial function. Eichelberger, 582 S.W.2d at 398-99 n. 1. None of these examples of proper uses of a court’s inherent power are present in this case nor analogous to how the court sided with Clifford and allowed a remedy that was not requested. “Equity jurisdiction does not flow merely from the alleged inadequacy of a remedy at law, nor can it originate sole from a court’s good intentions to do what seems ‘just’ or ‘right;’ the jurisdiction of Texas courts — the very authority to decide cases — is conferred solely by the constitution and the statutes of the state.” State v. Morales, 869 S.W.2d 941, 942 (Tex. 1994).

3. Connie Has No Other Remedy at Law Connie has no other remedy at law but to request this Court issue a writ of mandamus to vacate the trial court’s previous order and dismiss Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement. Connie was entitled to a dismissal of Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement based on the trial court’s finding that the Motions for Enforcement were deficient. Instead, the trial court allowed Clifford to replead his Motions with the benefit of hearing Connie’s counsel explain how his Motions were deficient. Now,

Connie must defend against First Amended Motions for Enforcement that should have been dismissed.

Further, Connie runs the risk of being incarcerated and fined if she loses at the hearing. A risk she should not have to take since the Motions should have been dismissed. Because the trial court had no authority to disregard Connie’s motion to dismiss and insert its own special exceptions in its place to allow for Clifford to amend his Motions for Enforcement, the Order for Dismissal is void and should be withdrawn and a new order should be entered dismissing Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement for failing to comply with Section 157.002 of the Texas Family Code. PRAYER Connie prays that the Honorable Court issue a writ of mandamus directing Judge Franklin to vacate her Order of Dismissal and enter an order dismissing the claims brought in Clifford’s Motions for Enforcement and First Amended Motions for Enforcement.

Further, Connie prays for any other and further relief, general or special, in law or in equity, to which she may show herself to be justly entitled.

December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: We are on the record in Cause 2006-68864, In the Matter of the Marriage of Clifford Layne Harrison and Connie Vasquez Harrison, and In the Interest of J.E.L.H., II, and V.M.H., Children.

6 Counsel, please make your appearances for the record.

8 MS. WICOFF: Your Honor, my name is Patricia A. Wicoff. I'm here together with Amy Harris. We represent Cliff Harrison.

11 MS. HUGHES: Your Honor, I'm Heather -- I'm sorry.

13 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, I'm Sara Razavi Zand here with Melissa Cass today here to represent the Respondent.

16 MS. HUGHES: Your Honor, I'm Heather Hughes, the amicus attorney for the children.

18 THE COURT: Okay. And we had a number of things set on the docket this morning, and the first is a -- the first matter we're going to take care of is the motion for the appointment of a mental health evaluator.

23 And off the record, Ms. Hughes, you were letting me know that Judge Newey had previously granted the motion for the mental health evaluation December 4, 2014

1 to take place of both parties. However, it failed to name a evaluator and you-all were instructed to try to reach a resolution on that; and I'm under the assumption since we're here today you've been unable to do so. 6 MS. HUGHES: Correct. I looked into one individual, Dr. Peter Simone; and when he got back to me, he indicated that with the January trial setting and his schedule that he would not be able to take the assignment commitment. And, so, then I sent an e-mail and proposed Dr. Adrienne Tinder, who is affiliated with Dr. Silverman and Dr. Laval. I heard back from Ms. Wicoff. My recollection was that she did not oppose Dr. Tinder, and I did disclose to everybody that she was related -- or not related, but worked with Dr. Silverman, who is a psychologist who performed the evaluation in the underlying divorce.

18 I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of that. I don't recall hearing back from Ms. Harrison; and, so, that's where we are.

21 And then this morning I have communicated with Dr. Tinder, and she's indicated her availability would be in January to begin the evaluation.

25 THE COURT: Okay. So, to begin in December 4, 2014

1 January?

2 MS. HUGHES: Yes, Your Honor.

3 THE COURT: And we were set for trial for -- 5 MS. WICOFF: We are set preferentially.

7 THE COURT: What was the date?

8 MS. HARRIS: January 20th. Pretrial on January the 9th.

10 THE COURT: Okay.

11 MS. HARRIS: Which is the date that we got from the Court at the same time that the evaluation was heard.

14 MS. WICOFF: Judge, if I may respond when you're -- if Ms. Hughes is done.

16 MS. HUGHES: Other than -- and both parties filed respective motions for mental health evaluation.

19 THE COURT: Okay.

20 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And, Your Honor, that was actually -- I came on the case approximately 36 hours ago.

23 THE COURT: Okay.

24 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And that was filed prior to me coming on the case; and it's also my December 4, 2014

1 understanding that at the September 3rd hearing that Judge Newey did order a psych eval to be done on everyone, including the kids. I'm not opposed to any of that. I'm not opposed to whoever the amicus wants to pick, too. I have no preference.

6 THE COURT: Okay.

7 MS. WICOFF: Judge, I am opposed to it at this point; and let me explain to the Court why.

10 We were set for trial on September 2nd. When we did not get reached for trial, then Judge Newey said he would go ahead and order the psychiatric. At that time we were then set for trial January 20th. That was three months ago.

15 There has been nothing accomplished with regard to that Order, which has never been entered. We do not have an Order signed. There has been nothing accomplished with regard to that happening for the last three-month period; and I don't know where the disconnect was, Judge. I responded to Ms. Hughes as soon as she contacted me. 22 At this point, Judge, we are now in our fourth trial setting after the remand from the Court of Appeals. We are now looking at an eight-year-old case to get heard. Quite frankly, December 4, 2014

1 Judge, both of these children have their own therapist that Mr. Harrison has arranged for these children that they are seeing. The amicus attorney has talked to at least one of the therapists, that I am aware of. As far as I'm concerned, we don't have a signed Order at this point, Judge.

7 This will clearly -- this is an automatic continuance, is what it really is, Judge.

9 We don't want this case continued under any scenario; and we are ready, willing and able to withdraw any request for any kind of psychological or psychiatric.

12 Quite frankly, it's my feeling that Ms. Harrison's conduct throughout this past many months is -- 14 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Objection to testifying as to facts not in evidence and testifying as the attorney, Your Honor.

17 THE COURT: Sustained.

18 You can rephrase.

19 MS. WICOFF: I think, Judge, that we are not going to need a psychiatric in this jury case, quite frankly. So, I think at this point, Judge, it is too little too late. I would like for it to have been commenced in September when it was originally ordered. It didn't happen, but it didn't happen because of anything that Mr. Harrison did. It December 4, 2014

1 simply didn't happen. And to now piggyback and say, oh, let's get it done in January. I talked to the lady this morning and she can do it in January. No. It's too late. This case needs to be concluded. We are ready to go forward.

6 And the other thing that the Court needs to know, way back when we tried this case in 2008, I believe -- 9 MS. HARRIS: Seven.

10 MS. WICOFF: -- '7 or '8, the parties were ordered to go to Mr. -- to Dr. Silverman. We had to get a motion to compel the attendance of Ms. Harrison to go to Dr. Silverman for the evaluation. The fact that this woman can do it in January doesn't mean that Ms. Harrison is going to show up. So, then where are we? Are we then in the summer? Are we going to be in the fall? Are we going to be in 2016? No. It's time to get this case done with or without a psychological; and that should have been taken care of three months ago, not today.

21 And that's my position, Judge.

22 THE COURT: Okay. Anything further from anybody?

24 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, it's my understanding that the -- and, again, I apologize if December 4, 2014

1 I misstate any of the facts since I've only been on the case for 36 hours; but it's my understanding that at the time of the psych eval -- the psych eval was done in '07 with Dr. Silverman, and the children were not evaluated at the time. So, there, at minimum, needs to be some sort of update. If Dr. Silverman is going to be considered an expert, his report is so old that I don't know if it actually pertains to the parties today.

10 But, again, Your Honor that wasn't -- that wasn't -- that was an order of the Court by Judge Newey, and we have the transcripts where he states that the children need to be re-evaluated because there have been instances where the children have seen some family violence that have gone on.

16 He's been convicted of family violence. There's been a finding of family violence in this court. There's been a second incident of family violence that occurred a couple months ago.

20 So -- in the presence of one of the children.

21 MS. WICOFF: Judge, I'm not -- I didn't interrupt opposing counsel when she was testifying, and she did to me; but I will respond that, first of all, there has never been a conviction of family violence against Mr. Harrison.

December 4, 2014

1 Secondly, he was no-billed on this last accusation by Ms. Harrison. These children are seeing therapists. Those two therapists can come in and testify. We need to get this case over. It is -- three months ago had we started this, that would be one thing; but it didn't happen, and it didn't happen because of us. We want to go to trial in January, Judge.

9 THE COURT: Okay. With regards to the motion to appoint an evaluator, the Court is going to deny that relief and the Court is superseding any prior Order that, perhaps, was orally rendered and hasn't been reduced to writing ordering the evaluation that is superseded by this Order denying the appointment of the evaluator and also denying a evaluation period.

17 And then let's move on to the motion for continuance. And I apologize, but I don't see -- 19 MS. HARRIS: It's actually not set, Judge. We had actually conceded to possibly going forward on that this morning. However, Ms. Harrison's new counsel advised me this morning that they would be passing their continuance.

24 THE COURT: Okay.

25 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: At this time, Your December 4, 2014

1 Honor, I, like I said, I have 11 boxes that were delivered to my office; and I'm going to have to review to see if discovery has been updated and whatnot. But as of right now, I'm passing my client's pro se motion for a continuance.

6 THE COURT: Okay. Excellent. I appreciate that.

8 And, so, then my understanding is we just have the two motions for enforcement.

10 Now, with regards to the Order on the request for the mental health evaluator, is that something you-all can stand down and handwrite up?

13 Okay.

14 MS. HUGHES: Handwrite.

15 THE COURT: Okay. Because I don't want to have to give you an entry date on that and have y'all come back. So, if we could enter that before the end of the day.

19 MS. HUGHES: I also believe my motion to review possession and access was set today. I called the clerk on Monday to confirm it because it showed up as a docket sheet entry, and it was confirmed because a week before I had been told it was the motion to appoint evaluator had been set.

25 So, I wanted to make sure. And when I called on December 4, 2014

1 Monday, I was told that, yes, the motion to review possession and access was set as well; and, so, I notified the parties of that.

4 THE COURT: I found the motion. It was noticed for today because I signed it on November the 14th and indicated that I signed a notice of hearing to review possession and access for today -- 8 MS. HUGHES: All right.

9 THE COURT: -- set at 9:00 o'clock a.m. So, we can hear that as well.

11 Now we have to figure out logistically how we're going to get this done. It is 11:45, and my understanding is you have somewhere else to be as well.

15 MS. HUGHES: I left the 312th morning CPS docket with one matter unfinished, and I've got one matter at 1:30 back in the 312th on their afternoon CPS docket.

19 THE COURT: Okay.

20 MS. HUGHES: May I look at my phone to see if anyone has text me?

22 THE COURT: Sure.

23 MS. HUGHES: And there's a chance that the morning matter disappears because of a report not being timely filed, but I've not had December 4, 2014

1 confirmation -- 2 THE COURT: And, Victor, what is my schedule like?

4 THE COORDINATOR: For this afternoon?

5 THE COURT: Uh-huh.

6 THE COORDINATOR: You've got a motion for new trial that has to go before you. I don't expect that to be too long, but that's at 1:30. I could be wrong.

10 THE COURT: Okay.

11 MS. WICOFF: Judge, let me just interject, if I may, that we are set for a motion for revocation of probation on December the 18th.

14 Certainly we could put both of these contempt motions -- have Ms. Harrison sworn to return on the 18th and have those heard, these contempts, two contempts heard on the 18th if that will help accommodate the Court.

19 THE COURT: Victor?

20 MS. HUGHES: I don't anticipate my motion would be very long, Your Honor.

22 THE COURT: Okay. So, we could take care of the possession and access.

24 We can go off the record.

25 (Discussion off the record) December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: Okay. And if the parties can stand up at counsel table. Okay. Anybody who is going to testify in this matter, please raise your right hand.

5 (Oath administered) 6 THE COURT: Okay. You may lower your right hands.

8 And then, ma'am, let me go ahead and give you some instructions at this time. Okay? The rule has been invoked in this matter. We are having a hearing in which it is expected you may testify.

12 When I place you under the rule, that is severalfold.

13 One, I'm going to excuse you to the hallway. Okay?

14 And you may not be present in the courtroom while any testimony or any matters are being conducted except for and save for while you are testifying. Okay?

17 While you are in the hallway, you may not communicate with other witnesses or the parties about matters relevant to the case or matters that you likely would testify about. If there's breaks and the parties are excused to the hallway, you may exchange pleasantries. You may talk about the weather, logistical things like arranging rides or things like that. Okay? But nothing relevant to the issues that would likely be being discussed here in the December 4, 2014

1 courtroom. Okay?

2 PROSPECTIVE WITNESS: I understand.

3 THE COURT: And if you're found to be in violation of that rule, then I could preclude you from testifying. I may strike testimony or I could actually find you in contempt of court for disobeying a Court Order. So, it's best to adhere to the instructions of the Court. Okay?

9 PROSPECTIVE WITNESS: I understand.

10 Thank you very much.

11 THE COURT: So, you're excused to the hallway at this time. Thank you, ma'am.

13 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And, Your Honor, for purposes of the record, were the parties sworn in for both enforcements as well?

16 MS. HARRIS: Yes, Judge. We're going to hear them all at the same time.

18 THE COURT: I thought what we're hearing is two enforcements and the possession and access.

21 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: That's correct.

22 THE COURT: Motion for possession and access. So, yes, the oath that I just administered is for all matters that are being heard right now.

25 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Thank you.

December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: You're welcome.

2 So, I have the motion to review possession and access. Will you direct me -- the motion for enforcement, is it the -- is one of them the one that was filed on October the 13th?

6 MS. WICOFF: It is, Judge.

7 THE COURT: Okay.

8 MS. WICOFF: And the other one was filed on September the 22nd. I'm sorry. 2 or 22.

10 I'm sorry. 2. It is 2, Judge.

11 MS. HARRIS: 9/2.

12 MS. WICOFF: 9/2 and the October.

13 THE COURT: Okay. I see it. Thank you, Ms. Wicoff. This is a lengthy file. So, it's a little difficult to find everything all at once.

16 Okay. Is there a preference to what order that we're going to hear the -- 18 MS. WICOFF: I think the enforcements were filed first, Judge. So, I'd like to move forward on those.

21 THE COURT: Okay. Then, Ms. Wicoff, if you're announcing ready at this time and you're ready to move forward, you may do so. 24 MS. WICOFF: I am; and I would call Mr. Harrison as my first witness, Your Honor.

December 4, 2014

1 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And, Your Honor, since the parties have already been sworn in, I'd like to do my oral motion to dismiss for procedural reasons that need to be heard prior to them actually starting and after they've been sworn. So, may I proceed?

7 THE COURT: You may.

8 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Thank you. Would you like me to do it at the bench, Your Honor, or from a seated position?

11 THE COURT: You can do it from a seated position, Counsel.

13 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, for the first motion for enforcement that was filed on September 2nd, 2014, if you turn to page 6 of 9, that's where the violations begin.

17 Your Honor, with regard to Violation Number 1, Violation Number 1 states: On or about July 28, 2014, Connie Vasquez Harrison failed to comply with the terms of this order by failing to adhere to the permanent injunctions relating to discussing divorce litigation or issues surrounding the litigation with the children. See a letter from John Ernest Harrison attached hereto Exhibit "C" and is fully incorporated herein for all purposes.

December 4, 2014

1 Your Honor, Violation Number 1 fails to allege how Connie actually violated the interim order pursuant to a section of the Texas Family Code 157.002(a)(2). It doesn't actually state how she violated the injunction. The proper way to plead would actually be that Connie Harrison discussed litigation with the son on a certain date and failed to adhere to the permanent injunction as to how she actually failed. It's not specific enough pursuant to 157.002(a)(2). It doesn't say how she actually violated it.

12 Violation Number 2, Your Honor: On August 15th Clifford Layne Harrison was denied access to the minor children, John Ernest Harrison and Victoria Madeline Harrison, for his weekend period of possession.

17 Your Honor, Violation Number 2 also fails to adhere with Section 157.002(a)(2) and Section (c). It fails to state the actual location of the violation and fails to identify how Connie violated -- I'm sorry -- how the Respondent violated the order. Section 157.002(a)(2) and (c), the Movant must be able to identify the provisions of the order and that Respondent violated it and specify the date, time, place and manner in which the Respondent December 4, 2014

1 actually violated those provisions.

2 And if you go to Violation Number 3, Your Honor: On August 27th, 2014, Clifford Layne Harrison was denied access to the minor children, John Ernest Harrison and Victoria Madeline Harrison, at the time the children were dismissed from school for the Thursday overnight period of possession and weekend extended by the holiday.

9 Again, Your Honor, Violation Number 3 doesn't state how the violation was -- how it was actually violated. It fails to identify how the Respondent violated the order. Your Honor, it fails to state the location of the violation and fails to actually state what Respondent failed to do.

15 Also, Your Honor, August 27th, 2014, which is the date that they pled, is actually a Wednesday and not a Thursday. It's not his actual period of possession under the order.

19 Violation Number 4 states that Connie Vasquez Harrison has intentionally and willfully failed to adhere to the Court's order pertaining to the children's enrollment in school. Connie Vasquez has facilitated the enrollment of John Ernest Harrison in a school other than Grady Middle School.

25 Again, Your Honor, the underlying December 4, 2014

1 order on Violation Number 4 is not specific enough to state that Connie is enjoined from doing so or -- I'm sorry -- Respondent. The language of the Petition does not specify or identify how Respondent actually violated the order. It's also not specific enough to identify the actual violation with regard to that, Your Honor.

8 If you go to Section 10, Number 10, page 6 of 9, it states: Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed and fined for the violations alleged above.

12 Number 11 states that Movant believes, based on Respondent's conduct, the repeated and ongoing history of Respondent's conduct and the history of the willful failure to comply with the court orders, that Respondent will continue to fail to comply with the orders of the court. Therefore, Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed and fined for each failure to comply with the order of the court from the date of this filing to the date of the hearing on this motion.

22 Movant requests that Respondent be confined in the county jail for 90 days.

24 Your Honor, Sections 10 through 12 do not state whether they are seeking civil contempt or December 4, 2014

1 criminal contempt. It doesn't state the amount of the fine. It doesn't state whether what the jail time that they're asking for is going to be concurrent or consecutive. There are several violations in here, Your Honor. Nothing in this Petition puts my client on notice of her right to invoke a jury trial on all the violations.

8 Your Honor, with regard to Enforcement Number 2 that was filed on September 13th, 2014, Violation Number 1 is set forth on page 2 -- I'm sorry -- it was filed October 13th, 2014. Do you have that in front of you?

13 THE COURT: I do. Thank you.

14 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: May I proceed?

15 THE COURT: You may.

16 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Okay. Violation Number 1: On September 15th, 2014, Connie Vasquez Harrison intentionally and knowingly appeared at the Boy Scout meeting wherein John Harrison was in attendance and spoke with both John Harrison and Victoria Harrison, including taking Victoria Harrison into the women's restroom to have a private conversation with her.

24 Your Honor, with regard to Violation Number 1, Your Honor, pursuant to Section -- Texas December 4, 2014

1 Family Code 157.002(a)(2) and (c), it fails to state the place, time and manner of her violation. It states that she intentionally and knowingly -- she intentionally and knowingly appeared at the Boy Scout meeting; but, Your Honor, as far as the actual element of willful, it's not specific enough to put my client on notice with regard to the actual violation.

9 Violation Number 2: On September 22nd, 2014, Connie Vasquez Harrison intentionally and knowingly appeared at the Boy Scout meeting wherein John Harrison was in attendance and spoke with John Harrison and gave John Harrison a letter to give to Victoria Harrison.

15 Again, Your Honor, it does not state the place and manner of her violation pursuant to Texas Family Code Section 157.002(a)(2) and (c).

18 Violation Number 3 states: On or about October 8th, 2014, Connie Vasquez Harrison communicated with John Harrison in writing.

21 Again, Your Honor, it does not state place and the manner of Respondent's violation in Violation Number 3 pursuant to Texas Family Code Section 157.002(a)(2) and (c).

25 With regard to Violation Number 4: December 4, 2014

1 On or about October 10th, Connie Vasquez communicated with Victoria Harrison in writing.

3 Again, Your Honor, this does not adhere to Texas Family Code Section 157.002(a)(2) and (c) since it states to -- it fails to state the place and manner of her actual violation.

7 Going to Number 8: Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed and fined, for the violations alleged above.

10 Number 9: Movant believes, based on Respondent's conduct, the repeated and ongoing history of Respondent's conduct and the history of the willful failure to comply with the Court orders that Respondent will continue to fail to comply with the Court orders -- with the orders of the Court.

16 Therefore, Movant requests that Respondent be held in contempt, jailed and fined for each failure to comply with the order of the Court from the date of this filing to the date of the hearing on this motion.

20 Number 10: Movant requests that Respondent be confined in county jail for 90 days.

22 In a parentheses it states 120 days.

23 Your Honor, again, this motion fails to state whether Movant is seeking criminal or civil contempt. It fails to state how much the fine is for December 4, 2014

1 for each violation. It does not state whether jail time is concurrent or consecutive for these violations. Again, my client has not been put on notice of her right to be able to invoke a jury trial, if necessary.

6 Your Honor, with regard to Number 10, it states that they're seeking jail -- county jail time for 90 days, but in parentheses it actually says 120 days.

10 So, again, my client is not put on notice with regard to the amount of jail time and whether it's consecutive or running concurrent so that she knows if she has the right to invoke a jury trial.

15 Your Honor, with regard to Enforcement Number 2, the underlying order is actually not specific enough to state whether if Ms. Vasquez -- if Ms. Harrison is actually found to have engaged in this behavior whether the underlying order is actually specific enough because it does not state that Ms. Harrison doesn't have any contact with the children. It doesn't state that at all. And, therefore, we can't know if she actually violated the order; and, again, her right to a jury trial, we don't know if it's been invoked or not.

December 4, 2014

1 So, I ask that my motion to dismiss be granted on both enforcements at this time.

3 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Wicoff?

4 MS. WICOFF: May I respond?

5 THE COURT: You may.

6 MS. WICOFF: Your Honor, very clearly -- and I will take the first enforcement, I will take is the one that was filed in September, September 2nd. Very clearly we set out verbatim exactly which order we believe that she has, in fact, violated. Commencing on page 2, Number 9, the interim order April 10, 2014 which provides to Mr. Harrison very specifically the periods -- first of all, the permanent injunction as is set out verbatim on page 4 from the order that the Court finds that because of the conduct of Clifford Harrison and Connie Vasquez Harrison a permanent injunction against him should be granted as appropriate relief because that's no adequate remedy at law. And it says very clearly, Judge, that the violation that we were contending that she has violated is discussing the divorce litigation or any issues surrounding this litigation with the parties' children, the parties children.

25 Then, Judge, we go further on to December 4, 2014

1 recite verbatim on page 5 the exact order that Judge Tom Stansbury rendered wherein he said it is ordered that in the event the children do not attend First Baptist Academy, then, and in that event, the children shall attend the public schools to which Clifford Layne Harrison's residence is zoned, i.e., Briargrove Elementary and Grady Middle School.

8 We then go on, Judge. On the Violation Number 1, we have incorporated Exhibit "C" which clearly puts Ms. Harrison on notice of the violation that she has engaged in by communicating with the child. It is incorporated. She could not be not on notice with this having been incorporated and her served with that document, Judge.

15 Violation Number 2, I have no understanding as to why she thinks she is not on notice that she has violated the order that is set out.

19 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Objection as to, Your Honor, that the attorney is testifying as to facts not in evidence at this time. This is argument, not evidence -- I'm sorry -- argument, not testimony.

24 THE COURT: It is overruled.

25 You may continue, Ms. Wicoff.

December 4, 2014

1 MS. WICOFF: Judge, on Violation Number 2, August 15th, once again, Judge, we set out verbatim the weekend visitation that he was entitled to under the underlying order. She is notified on the date that she violated that specific order.

6 We are withdrawing Violation Number 3, Judge, because, in fact, we have August 27th in there as opposed to August 28th. That is simply an incorrect date.

10 Then on Violation Number 4, Judge, the -- she has intent -- she enrolled the children in a school other than that designated by Mr. Harrison.

13 She has been put on notice that this is the violation that she violated. She knows how she violated that violation for all -- for that provision.

16 Judge, additionally, on each and every one of these what opposing counsel is arguing is not exactly what is said in the Family Code. It says very clearly that if applicable the time of each occasion of Respondent's failure to comply. To the best of my knowledge, we have put in here when she has failed to comply.

23 So, Judge, for all of those reasons, none of the argument of opposing counsel is relevant with regard to a dismissal. It will go to the weight December 4, 2014

1 and not to the underlying validity of the contempt itself.

3 Judge, with regard to October 13th -- 4 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: If I may, Your Honor, would it behoove -- 6 MS. WICOFF: Judge, could I just get through my argument -- 8 THE COURT: Hold on.

9 MS. WICOFF: -- please?

10 THE COURT: I don't know what she's requesting.

12 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Would it behoove -- would it be beneficial if we argue this enforce -- the first enforcement first and then go to the second and I can counter her argument, or would you like me to wait?

17 THE COURT: I would like you to wait because you set it up as far as arguing both. So, I'm going to allow Ms. Wicoff to respond -- 20 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Thank you.

21 THE COURT: -- to both and then you can reply -- 23 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Thank you.

24 THE COURT: -- to her response.

25 MS. WICOFF: Judge, on the second December 4, 2014

1 enforcement we make it very clear that it -- when each one of these violations took place. The dates are in there. We have -- we set forth the order that it is ordered that Connie Vasquez Harrison shall not have any periods of possession and/or access to the children until further order of the Court or by written agreement of the parties and attorneys.

8 Each and every date that she violated that is reflected in here, and we have reflected where she violated it or how she violated it. She is on ample notice of exactly what she did in not following these Court's orders.

13 THE COURT: And with regards, Ms. Wicoff, to counsel's argument regarding Number 2 that was filed on October 13th, 2014 wherein she states that her client is not on notice as far as what jail time you're requesting.

18 MS. WICOFF: Well, Judge, certainly there is a typographical error in there and certainly we would waive any 120-day request and would ask for the lesser amount.

22 Additionally, Judge, the argument that she doesn't know whether it is consecutive or concurrent really is a disingenuous argument. Had we wanted these to run back to back, believe me, Judge, December 4, 2014

1 we would have set that forth. It says very clearly in the first contempt, it says Movant requests the Respondent be confined in the county jail for 90 days, not 90 days per violation. Ninety days.

5 Additionally, Judge, the same language is used in the second contempt; and as I say, we are not seeking 120 days. We are seeking 90 days. So, certainly she knew that we were requesting at least 90 days; and we are waiving the 120 days.

10 THE COURT: Okay. Your response?

11 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, as far as -- let me go back to Enforcement Number 1.

13 I think that Ms. Wicoff actually confused my argument on Violation Number 1.

15 Specifically, it's not pled properly. To put her on notice is what she failed to do. It states in Violation Number 1 that she failed to adhere to the permanent injunctions relating to discussing the divorce litigation.

20 The proper way to plead it, Your Honor, is that Connie Harrison discussed litigation with the son on a date certain, not that she failed to adhere to a permanent injunction. Because it has to actually state what she did to -- that what she actually did that -- that she didn't actually adhere December 4, 2014

1 to the permanent injunction.

2 As far as Violation Number 2, Your Honor, on August 15th Clifford Layne was denied access to the minor children. Again, it doesn't state here how Respondent actually violated the order. The language -- there's supposed to be surrender language in here. The proper way to plead it, Your Honor, would be that Clifford -- that Connie Vasquez Harrison failed to surrender the children on this date at this time that actually adheres to the order. It doesn't state that what -- what she actually did here. It only states that he was just denied access to the children.

14 Violation Number 3, again, that -- they withdrew that violation.

16 THE COURT: Correct.

17 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And as far as Violation 4, again, Your Honor, that violation is not specific enough.

20 But, in totality, my client's due process would be violated if we moved forward on this motion because the order has to state if the jail time is going to be concurrent or consecutive. It has to state a fine amount. If the fine amount is over $500, my client's right to a jury trial would be December 4, 2014

1 invoked. At this time, I don't know whether I can or can't invoke her right to a jury trial.

3 The same thing with -- with the motion for enforcement, the second one that was filed in October 13th, 2014. It's the same thing, Your Honor. There is no fine amount in there. It doesn't state that it's -- the jail time, if the jail time is consecutive or concurrent. It has to state that.

9 It's a requirement to state that, to put the Respondent on notice.

11 With regard to Ms. Wicoff's stating that it's a typographical error, there cannot be typographical errors in a motion for enforcement.

14 It's a quasi criminal proceeding, Your Honor. These types of things get appealed immediately for failures to have this stuff in the actual motion.

17 They must plead with specificity, and they don't actually state in both enforcements whether the contempt that they are seeking is civil or criminal. And, Your Honor, that does make a difference because, again, her right to a jury trial would be invoked. And for civil contempt she can actually stay in jail for a lot longer than that with regard versus a criminal contempt.

25 So, at this time, again, I reiterate December 4, 2014

1 that Ms. Wicoff cannot cure any defects on an oral motion. If she has any defects in the pleadings, they have to be repled. My client has to be re-served again. She cannot cure her defects on an oral motion and on an oral motion to dismiss.

6 So, again, Your Honor, I reiterate that with the Court's request that the -- my motion to dismiss be granted on both enforcements.

9 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Wicoff?

10 MS. WICOFF: Your Honor, if I may just close.

12 What she is arguing is special exceptions, and she has no special exceptions filed.

14 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, you actually do not have to file special exceptions on a motion for enforcement. In fact, you can actually waive your special exceptions to do a motion to dismiss. You do not -- you absolutely do not -- if you'd like me to find the section of the Code -- 20 THE COURT: I would because this entire time I've been sitting here thinking just that, that why wasn't this raised on special exception. However, I realize you were retained 36 hours ago. So, I thought perhaps that was why -- 25 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: No. December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: -- they had not been raised.

3 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: The reason why special exceptions were not filed, Your Honor, is because that gives them an opportunity to replead.

6 That's me telling them how to practice law, Your Honor; and it allows them to replead and re-serve my client without having to do a special exceptions.

9 You can do a motion to dismiss the entire proceeding, and double jeopardy attaches after the clients -- after the parties have been sworn in.

12 And if the Court can give me a moment, if you'd like me to find that section.

14 THE COURT: Sure.

15 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Oh, and, Your Honor, actually, I'm sorry, special exceptions falls under Civil Procedure Rule 191. There are two separate sections for special exceptions. One in family law. One in civil law. In family law, Your Honor, it's a -- it's a may provision. In civil law it's a shall provision wherein you are required to file a special exception and if you don't, it's waived. In family law you are not required to file it along with -- I have copies of a case, Your Honor.

25 I don't know if you want to take a moment to review, December 4, 2014

1 and I can provide it to opposing counsel as well.

2 You do not waive defects in pleading even up until appeal at this point.

4 THE COURT: Thank you.

5 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, it may help if you turn to the second to the last page. The first paragraph starts with "Thus," and just let me know when you're ready.

9 THE COURT: The first paragraph starts with what?

11 MS. WICOFF: The second to the last page?

13 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: The second to the last page -- I'm sorry -- page 6 from the front.

15 THE COURT: Okay.

16 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: I'm sorry. The pages aren't numbered, Your Honor.

18 THE COURT: No problem. I'm there.

19 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: The first paragraph starts with "Thus." The second paragraph says: Further, the Texas Family Code does not require a special exceptions or other objections as a predicate for a complaint about inadequate notice, rather it requires that a specific type of notice be given in enforcement and contempt motions. While Section December 4, 2014

1 14.311(f) -- and, Your Honor, that section has now been recodified in Texas Family Code Section 157.064 which is this special exceptions section. While Section 14.311(f) does state that an alleged contemnor may file special exceptions to a motion to enforce, it does not require it, unlike Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 90, which does require an objection to preserve pleading defects for an appeal.

9 So, it's not required by the Court, Your Honor.

11 MS. WICOFF: Judge, but more importantly, what happened here was this gentleman -- it's a child support.

14 THE COURT: Right.

15 MS. WICOFF: And what happened was this gentleman was served with an enforcement that said see attached Exhibit "A" and Exhibit "A" wasn't attached. That couldn't have been cured.

19 So, for those reasons, Judge, I just don't think this is -- this is not anything close to what we are dealing with today.

22 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, that's a codified section of -- it's a codified section of the Code. You are absolutely not required to file special exceptions to a motion for enforcement. You December 4, 2014

1 do not waive it. You don't even waive it if you don't file it on appeal.

3 And with regard to whether it's a child support enforcement case or whether it's a possession and access case or injunction case for purposes of the motion for enforcement, they're all motions for enforcement.

8 And, Your Honor, I even have a CLE that was done by Judge Rick Ramos at the time present with me here today that he also states in his CLE with all the Judges at the Texas Family Conference you do not have to file special exceptions prior to that.

14 MS. WICOFF: With all due respect.

15 THE COURT: Hold on one second.

16 Ms. Hughes?

17 MS. WICOFF: I'm sorry.

18 MS. HUGHES: Section 157.064 of the Family Code is what addresses the special exceptions.

20 THE COURT: 157 what?

21 MS. HUGHES: .064. And it just discusses if they do and if one is sustained.

23 MS. WICOFF: It certainly doesn't apply to a request that it be dismissed, Judge. She is on ample notice of every violation that we have December 4, 2014

1 set forth.

2 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And, Your Honor, that's the first prong of my argument.

4 The second prong of my argument was that she is not put on notice with regard to whether her right to a jury trial has been invoked. Those are her due process rights. She needs to know if she's going to be jailed for a consecutive amount of time or a -- for the jail time to run concurrently.

10 The fine isn't even listed in the motion, Your Honor, on top of the fact that the second enforcement says she's going to be jailed for either 90 days but in parentheses says 120 days. You can't cure those types of defects on an oral motion.

15 MS. WICOFF: Judge, if we had wanted to have 90 days per occurrence, it would say per occurrence. It very specifically says 90 days. I don't know what is not understood about that specific term. It's a disingenuous argument, Your Honor.

20 THE COURT: Okay. Anything further?

21 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: She hasn't listed it as civil or criminal contempt, Your Honor. If they do actually run concurrent -- I'm sorry -- consecutively, Your Honor, my client's rights to a jury trial would be invoked.

December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: Okay. After having heard the oral argument before me, the Court is going to deny the request to dismiss this action. However, the Court, having heard your argument, perceives your argument to be a special exceptions that we are now having a hearing on; and with regards to the exceptions that you have made, this is the following ruling of the Court: With regards to Violation 1 -- 9 MS. WICOFF: I'm sorry. Which contempt are we on, Judge?

11 THE COURT: We are on -- I apologize.

12 Somehow one of the contempts has moved and is hiding from me. It is the -- I don't know where the other one went.

15 I'm reviewing the one that is September 2nd, 2014. And with regards to the pleadings as to regards to Violation Number 1, the Court will sustain the special exception and request that, Ms. Wicoff, that you replead Violation 1 to state specifically what she failed to do.

21 With regards to Violation 2, the Court again will sustain that; and if you'd replead stating what she failed to do.

24 With regards to Violation 3, you've passed that.

December 4, 2014

1 With regards to Violation 4 -- and if you, obviously, if you reassert 3, then in your -- 3 MS. WICOFF: And we will.

4 THE COURT: -- your new pleadings and you will likely want to consult with opposing counsel before you-all come back down of any issues with that.

8 With regards to 4, the Court is going to deny that special exception.

10 With regards to the special exception asking for a specificity as to whether or not the contempt sought is civil or criminal, that will be sustained.

14 With regards to the request for any fine amount if requesting a fine, that is sustained.

16 With regards to indicating whether or not it's consecutive or concurrent, if you're asking for more than -- if you're asking for jail time to be ordered by this Court on more than one violation, then the Court is sustaining that, and you do need to tell me whether or not it is consecutive or concurrent.

23 MS. WICOFF: All right, Judge.

24 THE COURT: With regards to -- and that's everything regarding the first motion for December 4, 2014

1 enforcement.

2 And I apologize, Ms. Wicoff, can you give me the date of the second one again?

4 MS. HARRIS: 10/13.

5 MS. WICOFF: 10/13, Your Honor.

6 THE COURT: I have three motions open. So, one of them somehow got lost.

8 Okay. Now back on 10/13/2014, with regards to the oral motion regarding this pleading that -- to dismiss this cause of action, that is denied.

12 The Court, however, will interpret your argument to be a special exception; and the Court will make the following rulings on your special exceptions.

16 With regards to Violation 1, the Court will grant the special exception to Violation 1 as to -- as to the lack of including willfulness in the violation. With regards to -- and also to the place. You need to include the place of the violation. With regards -- with more specificity.

22 With regards to Violation 2, that is sustained as to the place of the violation and also including willfulness.

25 With regards to 3, is 3 the -- December 4, 2014

1 MS. WICOFF: It's the communication in writing, Judge.

3 THE COURT: And you've attached the writing; correct?

5 MS. WICOFF: I'm sorry?

6 THE COURT: And you attached the writing, Ms. Wicoff?

8 MS. WICOFF: We did not attach the writing. We're going to use it as an exhibit, Your Honor.

11 THE COURT: Okay. So then with regards to 3, it is sustained as to place, willfulness and also -- place and willfulness.

14 With regards to 4, same thing. So 3 and 4 are the same.

16 Then with regards to the special exception as to specifying whether it's civil or criminal contempt, that's sustained.

19 If there is a fine being requested, list the fine amount. That's sustained.

21 And if the jail time in this one, if you're only requesting the 90 days, then the numeric value that's listed needs to reflect the written value; and also again let me know whether it's consecutive or concurrent and also let the Respondent December 4, 2014

1 know whether it's consecutive or concurrent if it's -- you are requesting jail time for more than one violation.

4 Okay. With that being said, now we have -- 6 Let's go off the record.

7 (Discussion off the record) 8 THE COURT: Ms. Harrison, can you come on up?

10 MS. HARRISON: Oh, certainly.

11 THE COURT: Thank you.

12 (Whereupon the witness was sworn to 13 re-appear by the clerk) 14 THE COURT: And, Ms. Harrison, when she says "no notices," that means from this Court.

16 That doesn't mean -- perhaps you and your attorney may have your own communications, but just to be clear, the Court is not going to send you any further notice of this hearing.

20 MS. HARRISON: Oh, sure.

21 THE COURT: Okay?

22 Okay. Then with that being said, let's go ahead and address the possession and access.

24 So, that's your motion?

25 MS. HUGHES: It is.

December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: So, you may proceed with that and call your first witness if you're ready at this time.

4 MS. HUGHES: Your Honor, mine is more a -- just a presentation to the Court, if that's okay.

7 THE COURT: Okay. Sure.

8 MS. HUGHES: As this Court's aware, on September 3rd it entered orders that denied the mom, Ms. Harrison, any possession and access with both children. It's my understanding that there have been several brief encounters. I've met with the children, I think, at least twice now since that order was entered. They would like to visit with their mother. My concern is I've not had the opportunity to meet with Ms. Harrison to figure out what's been going on the last several months, dating back to July when there was an incident. So, at this time I would be requesting supervised possession and access for the mom and the children until we figure out what's been going on.

22 THE COURT: Okay. And have you talked with the parties about what you -- how you think that that could accommodate their schedules?

25 MS. HUGHES: There's a gentleman, December 4, 2014

1 David Tristan -- 2 THE COURT: Okay.

3 MS. HUGHES: -- who I've used a handful of times on various cases. He's usually fairly flexible. Obviously I think second and fourth weekends are maybe more free time with that scheduling, and my experience has been he will do the visits anywhere except for a parent's home. So, whether it be a movie theater, the zoo, the Children's Museum, the mall. His cost, if I can look at my phone briefly, Your Honor -- 12 THE COURT: Sure.

13 MS. HUGHES: -- is $50 per hour with a two-hour minimum.

15 THE COURT: Does that include all costs? Sometimes there's travel fees and so forth in addition to that.

18 MS. HUGHES: That's all that he indicated when I requested what the cost was.

20 THE COURT: Okay. Anything further, Ms. Hughes?

22 MS. HUGHES: No, Your Honor.

23 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Wicoff?

24 MS. WICOFF: Yes.

25 Your Honor, we -- as I understand it, December 4, 2014

1 the reason Ms. Hughes hasn't been able to meet with Ms. Harrison is not because Ms. Hughes has not requested it, but that Ms. Harrison has not made herself available throughout this entire period of time.

6 Additionally, Judge, we really are not comfortable with Ms. Harrison having access at this time. I do not know Mr. Tristan. I will rely on Ms. Hughes' position; but certainly, Judge, this -- the ruling that Judge Newey put into effect was after we retrieved the children through a habeas corpus. I'm very, very concerned about Ms. Harrison making comments; and had you seen the exhibits today, you would understand what my concerns are with regard to her comments. I would hope that this gentleman has the ability and is absolutely authorized if the Court orders any periods of access; and if they do, I would ask that it be limited to a two-hour period on a second and a fourth weekend.

20 But if the Court orders any periods of access, certainly this cost must be borne entirely by Ms. Harrison. She created this issue. She is responsible for it, and she should be paying for it.

24 She is an attorney. She is not indigent. She has hired private counsel for this hearing; and, so, December 4, 2014

1 Judge, I would -- I would defer. But I honestly am not comfortable at this time, Judge, with Ms. Harrison having access; and certainly if there is any, it must be supervised and it needs to be paid for by Ms. Harrison.

6 THE COURT: Okay.

7 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Your Honor, at the hearing -- prior to the September 3rd hearing my client has had custody of these children. In fact, she had sole custody for a period of time due to a conviction of family violence; and that was a finding in this court. In the summer of 2014 there was another incident of family violence in front of the children -- in front of one of the children. The reason why they -- Mr. Harrison got custody was not on the basis of a hearing. It was a default that my client didn't show up to. And in that transcript, the transcript, it specifically says that she's not here at the hearing and that's why he's granting the request that they are asking for.

21 My client has not shown to be any danger to the children. She's been the primary caretaker of the children.

24 With regard to funds, Your Honor, my client does tutoring. Mr. Harrison has shut out my December 4, 2014

1 client from any access to any finds. She paid me with a credit card on a friend's card, and she does not have the money to litigate this case the way Mr. Harrison has done. He has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to litigate this case; and he, in essence, is using the fact that he has access to millions of dollars to relitigate issue after issue after issue and bombarding her with litigation. It's an abuse of the process, Your Honor.

10 So, as far as supervised visits, my client cannot afford supervised visits, to have continuing supervised visitation. The hearing that they had, there was no showing that they met any burden that custody should have been switched at the time. It was only based on a default.

16 THE COURT: Ms. Hughes?

17 MS. HUGHES: Thank you.

18 With respect to Mr. Tristan, he monitors the visits within line of sight, within verbal. There's no whispers or private communications permitted.

22 Judge, my concern is if visits don't occur, then I'm going to reurge the designation of a mental health evaluation because I don't know that you can go into a trial without parents, a parent, December 4, 2014

1 not having had any access to children which would then be four and a half, five -- five months and not -- I don't know how you can have a trial in that capacity. So, if the Court's inclined to deny it, I'm going to reurge; and if I have to file appropriate motions, I will, on the mental health evaluation.

8 THE COURT: Okay. Ms. Wicoff?

9 MS. WICOFF: Judge, if I may just state, first of all -- and I cannot let what opposing counsel who has been on the case for 36 years -- 36 months -- days -- 13 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Hours.

14 MS. WICOFF: -- hours, I guess, as opposed to the case that I've been on for eight years, I cannot let her misstatements go by.

17 Her suggestion that Mr. Harrison has millions is so ludicrous I can't -- I can barely contain myself. The gentleman owes our firm $180,000. I am here because I believe in his cause and because I will work with him until the end of the earth to do what I think is appropriate.

23 Ms. Harrison has caused since we had a Mediated Settlement Agreement that she violated in January that resulted in Mr. Harrison incurring December 4, 2014

1 $98,000 in fees since January, it is her doing. She is a licensed lawyer. I don't care whether she tutors or whatever else she does. She has the ability to do something other than create total unequivocated havoc in this litigation.

6 And if she wants to see these children after what she did -- and they say it was a default. She was sworn to return. She elected not to show up. So, Judge, the reality of it is I apologize to opposing counsel, but she doesn't know what she's talking about. That's the bottom line.

12 The fact is she didn't appear. She had the ability to appear. She had an attorney there who told the Court -- and it's in the transcript -- that he had not been authorized by Ms. Harrison to say anything.

16 So, Judge, if she wants to see the children, she needs to come up with the funds to do so. 19 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: And with regards to my client not showing to that hearing, Your Honor, that was on the advice of a criminal defense attorney. For whatever reason, her attorney at the time advised her to go to a criminal defense attorney on a motion for enforcement; and that criminal defense attorney advised her not to show to that December 4, 2014

1 trial occurrence.

2 THE COURT: Okay.

3 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Don't ask me why.

4 THE COURT: After having heard the argument before me on Ms. Hughes' motion for possession and access, the Court will grant supervised possession and access to occur according to Mr. Tristan's availability on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month through the trial setting in January. And the periods will be for two hours, and Mr. Tristan will have the ability to terminate the period of possession and access if he feels that the visitation is inappropriate or the actions during the visitation are inappropriate.

15 Accordingly, Mr. Harrison, you're ordered to comply with and cooperate with Mr. Tristan's availability and scheduling and to make the children available on those Saturdays as designated by Mr. Tristan.

20 MS. HUGHES: And, Your Honor, to clarify, you said on the second and fourth Saturdays, but do you mean -- 23 THE COURT: Correct.

24 MS. HUGHES: -- the Saturdays that follow the second and fourth Fridays?

December 4, 2014

1 THE COURT: Yes.

2 MS. HUGHES: Okay. I just wanted to -- 4 THE COURT: Yes.

5 MS. HUGHES: It's a little dicey.

6 THE COURT: I'm being lazy.

7 MS. HUGHES: No, you're not.

8 THE COURT: But, yes.

9 MS. WICOFF: And the costs, Your Honor?

11 THE COURT: Yes. And the costs are going to be bore by the -- by Ms. Harrison 100 percent, and they will be payable to Mr. Tristan according to his instructions. If he requests to be paid at the beginning of each visitation, then you're going to have to adhere to whatever instructions he provides to you. If he wants payment in money order, down to the finite details, those will be pursuant to his instructions.

20 Anything further?

21 MS. RAZAVI ZAND: Nothing further, Your Honor.

23 THE COURT: Ms. Hughes?

24 MS. HUGHES: No, Your Honor. I think that addresses it.

December 4, 2014

1 MS. WICOFF: I believe that's it, Judge, yes.

3 THE COURT: Okay. Then you-all are excused. Thank you for working through your lunch hour so I could get y'all heard.

1. Discovery in this case is intended to be conducted under level 2 of rule 190 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.

2. Movant, CLIFFORDLAYNE HARRISON is the father and temporary sole managing conservator of the two children subjects of this suit.

The last three numbers of CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON's Texas driver's license number are 572. The last three numbers of CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON's Federal Social Security number are 717.

3. The two children subjects of this suit are: Name: JOHN ERNESTLEEHARRISON, II Sex: Male Birth date: September 2, 2000 Name: VICTORIA MADELINE HARRISON Sex: Female Birth date: July 27, 2004 4. This Court has continuing, exclusive jurisdiction of this case as a result of prior proceedings.

Page 1 of 10 TAB #5 5. The parties entitled to notice are as follows: Respondent, CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON, is the mother and temporary possessory conservator of the two minor children subjects of this suit.

Respondent was administered the oath by the Court and ORDERED to re-appear on December 18, 2014 at 9:00 a.m., to respond to (Petitioner's) First Amended Motion for Enforcement of Possession or Access and Order to Appear, and notice of this amended enforcement action to Respondent shall be pursuant to Rule 21a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, by and through her attorney of record, Sara Razavi Zand, 2118 Smith St., Houston, Texas 77002.

6. Case History- This divorce action was filed in 2006. After numerous continuances, resets, and Respondent's changes in counsel (approximately 9 at the time of trial), this case was tried to a jury beginning in March 2010 and ending in April 2010.

The Court signed a decree in June 2010.

Respondent appealed the final order in September 2010.

In December 2012, the 14th Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case to the trial court for a new trial, with the exception that the 14th Court of Appeals affirmed the divorce between the parties as of June 2010.

Again, this case was preferentially set for trial a number of times in 2013 and into the beginning of 2014.

Pursuant to court order, the parties participated in mediation and signed a mediated settlement agreement in January 2014.

In April 2014, the Court signed an order to comport with the mediated settlement agreement.

7. This matter has resulted in multiple orders and a mediated settlement agreement, therefore Movant lists the orders and the agreement affecting this Motion for Enforcement in chronological order: a.

CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON willfully and intentionally violated the order of this Court by failing to surrender both children to' CLIFFORDLAYNE HARRISON at the children's respective schools an August 28, 2014; thereby denying CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON the right to pick up the children fram school and exercising his designated periods of possession and access with the children.

Relating to the terms and I;1;rovisionsof the Additional Temporary Orders Violation No.4: CONNIEVASQUEZHARRISONhas intentionally and willfully failed to adhere to the court's order pertaining to' the children's enrallment in schoo I. On or about August 11, 2014, CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON intentionally and willfully violated the order of this Court by enrolling JOHN ERNEST LEE HARRISON, II in Spring Branch Middle School. This Court specifically ordered that JOHN ERNEST LEE HARRISON, /I be enrolled in the school zoned far CLIFFORDLAYNE HARRISON's residence, that being Grady Middle School within the Houston Independent School District. CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON, withaut the agreement, consent or knawiedge of CLIFFORD LAYNEHARRISON, or further order of the Court enrolled JOHN ERNEST LEE HARRISON, 1/ in Spring Branch Middle Schaal, in the Spring Branch Independent School district, and not Grady Middle School, which is a vialation of this Court's order.

9. Criminal Contempt Mavant requests that far each violation alleged above, Respondent be found and held in criminal contempt, confined in the county jail of Harris Caunty, Texas for a perlod of 120 days far each separate violation, and that each periad of canfinement run cancurrently.

Movant Request that for each vialation alleged above, Respondent be found and held in criminal contempt, and fined a monetary penalty far each separate violatian, not to exceed a total of $500.

10. Mavant requests that, if the Court finds that any part of the order sought to' be enforced is not specific enough to be enforced by contempt, the Court enter a clarifying order more clearly specifying the duties imposed on Respondent and giving Respondent a reasonable time within which to camply.

7of10 11. On repeated occasions, Respondent has failed to comply with the order of the Court by failing to surrender or return the children to CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON, or intentionally interfering with designated periods of possession and access with the children and CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON as ordered.

Specifically, Movant has previously filed enforcement actions against CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON for similar conduct of denying periods of possession and access to the children. The two (2) prior actions were brought on or about November 15, 2011 and on August 28, 2012.

Further, a third enforcement is set to be heard on September 3, 2014. The filing of this enforcement action will be CLIFFORD LAYNE HARRISON's fourth request for enforcement due to CONNIE VASQUEZ HARRISON's failure to follow this Court's orders and the intentional, willful denial of access between Movant and the children.

12. It was necessary to secure the services of Patricia A. Wicoff and Amy R. Harris, licensed attorneys, and the law firm of Schlanger, Silver, Borg & Paine, LLP, to enforce and protect the rights of Clifford layne Harrison and the children the subject of this suit.

Respondent should be ordered to pay reasonable attorney's fees, expenses, and costs, and a judgment should be rendered in favor of the attorney and against Respondent and be ordered paid directly to the undersigned attorney, who may enforce the judgment in the attorney's own name. Enforcement of the order is necessary to ensure the children's physical or emotional health or welfare. The attorney's fees and costs should be enforced by any means available for the enforcement of child support including contempt but not including income withholding.

Movant requests post judgment interest as allowed by law.

Movant prays that Respondent be held in criminal contempt and punished as requested, that the Court clarify any part of its prior order found not to be specific enough to be enforced by contempt, for attorney's fees, expenses, costs, and interest, and for all further relief authorized by law.
